Try the pragma use CGI qw/-nosticky/;
but I ended up doing a $q->delete_all(); after I process the form variables. But I first put all of the form variables in a hash pre-loaded with "default" values - for the form variables I don't receive back but use. So I don't really work with $q->param except to load my hash. I believe you can make a "copy" of the form variables w/CGI but I just happened to do it myself. I then do the delete before I output any results... Hope this makes cents... or gives you another thing to try... jwm -----Original Message----- From: David Gilden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: October 17, 2001 13:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Brian Arnold Subject: RE: CGI.pm hidden field problem Still can't get it to wrk!
